The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Lost in the Arcade returns with another installment of those great coin-ops that we never got to experience at home. This time, we take a look at some games Capcom decided to leave behind.

Read our latest installment of our Genre Spotlight series, the Fighter Frenzy, and see for yourself!
